Hunters and Gatherers

Once you decide to make this big wonderful dazzling display of photons, where do you get all the lights? From anywhere you can! A good price per unit is a nice thing but not at the expense of cheap strings that will fall apart and ruin your fun. Shop at places like Goodwill, yard sales, after Christmas sales, wholesale outlet even Craigslist. We purchased 50 quality 4' by 6' net light sets for 100 dollars off of Craigslist. Use your head and play it smart. After all, you may not get what you pay for. Make a list of what you need and stick to it. Upgrade next year. Other things to buy are extension cords, matierials for props, kits to make non-lighted props and other things. Think ahead and save bread.
